Longevity begins with alchemy master

On the shore of Ming Lake.

The number of people gathered has been increasing.

From the initial few Nascent Soul elders to almost all the important figures of Luotian Sect later on, all were present.

Such as Luo Chen's disciple Qu Lingjun and his Taoist partner Meng Qin'er, the Jueqing Fairy and Shi Lan from the Ice Castle lineage.

All the older generation of Jindan cultivators were present, and some newly promoted Jindan cultivators also came in an endless stream after finishing their current tasks.

Everyone knows that the Grand Elder is about to come out of seclusion.

When the raging waves on Ming Lake finally disappeared, everyone was looking forward to it.

Especially Luo Chen’s two Taoist companions were eager to rush in.

However, they were soon stopped by Qu Lingjun and his wife.

"Master's wife, the Ming water is filthy, a Jindan cultivator cannot touch it at all!"

"Master Caiyi's wife, Master is a lucky person. Please wait for a moment, he will come out soon."

The couple went out separately and persuaded the two young women to stop.

The commotion in the room seemed to quiet down as Sima Hui Niang and Gu Caiyi waited patiently.

Wow…

There were waves again, but this time they were no longer raging storms, but seemed like the abyss was retreating on its own initiative.

quickly!

Amidst layer after layer of waves, two figures walked out of the lake and came into view of everyone.

At a glance, everyone's attention was focused on the tall man in feathered robe and tall crown, who was as handsome as a god.

"Congratulations to the Grand Elder for coming out of seclusion!"

Dozens of people cheered like thunder and waves, their excitement and joy were beyond words.

Facing everyone's congratulations, Luo Chen smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you all. This is not the place for a casual chat. Let's move to Luotian Hall and continue our conversation!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

Gu Caiyi wanted to step forward, but her steps paused and her eyes fell directly on the woman behind Luo Chen.

Her hair is as white as clouds and her face is as beautiful as flowers, her skin is as white as ice and her bones are as white as jade

Her lotus steps lightly tread among the turbid waves, revealing a kind of mature and graceful temperament that is only realized belatedly.

It's not just Gu Caiyi.

In fact, many people have noticed the woman who was silently following Luo Chen.

Fairy Canglong of the Tianshan lineage of the Luotian Sect is no stranger to this.

But what was strange was the temperament she revealed at this moment and the affectionate eyes she looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen seemed not to notice and did not explain out loud, but he seemed to have seen everything and gave the answer directly with his actions.

He stretched out his left hand and held it in front of the woman.

Canglong hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his frosty white wrist.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, squeezed the woman's cold little hand, and flew towards the Luotian Palace while everyone made way for him.

To do so is to declare everything.

Gu Caiyi was shocked and angry. She subconsciously looked at Sima Huiniang, but found that the other party looked extremely calm.

She did not keep up with the main force, stopped immediately, and stopped Sima Hui Niang.

"What the hell is going on?"

Facing the question, Sima Hui Niang was unusually calm, as if she knew the other party would ask this question. She whispered:

"Just as you saw, Canglong has become my husband's third Taoist partner. It's that simple."

Gu Caiyi was furious. "You knew this might happen? Were you the one who spread those rumors?"

Sima Hui Niang did not shy away from saying, "The rumors about Cang Long in Luo Tian Sect were not caused by me. But after my husband came back, the rumors not only did not stop, but became more intense. This is indeed due to my contribution."

"You!" Gu Caiyi was quite angry. It was hard for her to control her temper when it came to matters related to Luo Chen. "My husband is not the kind of person who indulges in beauty. Why do you think that a mere rumor would make him fall in love with her?"

Sima Hui Niang asked back, "Isn't the result the same as I expected?"

Gu Caiyi was speechless and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Sima Hui Niang waved her hand instead, "From the beginning I never thought of making my husband fall in love with her. The target of the rumor was Cang Long. The more rampant the rumor is, the more difficult it will be to erase the kindness of my husband who saved her and helped her. Once she makes up her mind and takes the initiative to throw herself into his arms, with our husband's character of not taking the initiative and not refusing, what do you think the result will be?"

Without waiting for Gu Caiyi to answer, she said decisively: "Moreover, my husband has almost gone crazy in recent years in order to improve his strength. I accidentally learned that Canglong has a seven-orifice exquisite body, so he is destined not to refuse. With my husband's style of not taking the initiative or refusing but being very responsible, tsk tsk... Sister Caiyi, we are going to have another sister. Oh, she is older than us, and her realm is two levels higher than mine, so she should be considered a sister, right?"

When Sima Hui Niang spoke later, there was a hint of teasing in her words.

The look he gave Gu Caiyi was also quite amusement-filled.

Gu Caiyi took a deep breath. She didn’t care about being called sister or younger. She just didn’t want to share Luo Chen’s limited love with more people.

She looked at Sima Huiniang coldly and uttered three words: "Why?"

This time, Sima Hui Niang did not answer her, but just shrugged.

Gu Caiyi sneered, "It was a waste that you and I supported each other through those difficult years. I didn't expect that when life got better, you became more and more depraved. This is true for cultivation and for relationships. Well, from the perspective of you taking the initiative to bring Canglong in, it's tantamount to announcing defeat. Wait until I achieve the Nascent Soul stage, and then I will compete with Canglong!"

After saying that, she soared into the sky and flew towards the main peak of Luotian Sect.

Behind her, after she said that, Sima Hui Niang clenched her fists almost subconsciously.

The woman's sharp nails pierced her palm deeply, causing blood to flow out.

She raised her hand, and with her bloody fingers she stroked her well-maintained yet aged face.

"If I hadn't been old and ugly, if I hadn't spent ten years of my energy and blood protecting Lingxi and had no hope of conceiving a baby, why would I have invited a wolf into the house!"

"Well, if you want to fight, then fight. Anyway, I brought Canglong in here just to let her fight with you."

"Go ahead and fight, just wait for my son Lingxi to grow up!"

……

In Luotian Hall.

Everyone sat at the bottom, and Luo Chen sat alone at the top.

All matters concerning the sect, big or small, were reported one by one while Luo Chen was free.

Of course, most people only report good news and not bad news.

Occasionally reporting bad news is also to ask for more benefits.

For example, Ling Fengzi has always wanted Taidan Academy to allocate more cultivation-related elixirs to the disciples of Piaomiao Peak.

But Luotian Sect had cut off contact with the outside world for decades, and was completely self-sufficient in medicinal herbs. How could it open up to a single peak? That was why Li Yingzhang had been refusing.

Now that Luo Chen has come forward, he naturally gave the verdict.

However, this judgment was not about a specific amount, but a word that strongly supported Li Yingzhang.

"Li Yingzhang is the sect leader. Everything he does is for the development of the sect. You must respect and execute his decisions and orders!"

Li Yingzhang was overjoyed and spoke with more confidence.

Ling Fengzi hesitated and no longer asked for more pills.

Luo Chen looked at this scene and just sneered in his heart.

Although the journey I have taken seems to be steady, it seems too fast and too steep to the people around me and the enemies.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a complete upheaval. This also led to the people who followed him to have many inappropriate thoughts because they could not keep up with him, and it was normal for them to do some small actions.

It can even be said that not only the disciples and vassals below, but even his own fellow disciples may have some extra thoughts.

Luo Chen saw their thoughts and actions, but did not take it to heart.

The Luotian Sect today is no longer of much help to him, it is just a responsibility.

If you delay your own practice for this responsibility, it will not be worth it.

So, Luo Chen just watched indifferently.

Even if the person beside him showed some jealous behavior, Luo Chen was too lazy to correct it as long as it did not affect him.

The only thing he was thankful for now was that Luo Tianzong had been able to live in seclusion in the blessed land of Dan Sheng for the past few decades!

Otherwise, with the great reputation he had made in southern Xinjiang and the western desert, his disciples might take advantage of his master's power to show off their power and cause him a lot of trouble.

He doesn't want to do something like "beating the younger one and then having the older one take over" to clean up other people's mess.

Time passed little by little as Luo Chen received reports from the top leaders of Luo Tian Sect on their respective situations.

Later on, Luo Chen had a clear understanding of the entire sect's situation.

The current Luotian Sect has five other lineages besides his own Taishang lineage.

They are the Piaomiao Peak lineage headed by Lingfengzi, the Zhanshen Peak lineage headed by Wang Yuan, the Guihuang Peak lineage where Bai Meiling lives, the Tianshan Ice Castle lineage inherited by Fairy Canglong, and the Haoranzi lineage that stayed outside Shangyou City.

In addition to these five meridians, there are many more practical organizations below.

Such as Taidan Courtyard, Law Enforcement Hall, Transmission Hall, Treasure Hall and so on.

It sounds like there are many departments, but in fact the total number of people is only more than a thousand, and there are many mixed people among them.

For example, disciples of the six meridians will enter the major courtyards and halls to perform their duties.

A typical example is Luo Chen’s disciple Qu Lingjun, who serves as the dean of Taidan Academy.

Such a situation, at best, is a small but complete package; at worst, it is factionalism.

Luo Chen was powerless to do anything about this.

After all, the emergence of this situation is not unrelated to him.

In order to attract Ling Fengzi, Cang Long and others to join, they were allowed to set up their own faction within Luo Tian Sect and continue the original inheritance.

Originally, this situation would slowly change with Luo Chen's careful management, and they would be completely integrated into the sect.

But in these years, Luo Chen has either been traveling outside or focusing on his own cultivation, and has not paid much attention to the management of the sect, which is why it has become so powerful that it is difficult to get rid of it now.

"That's it!"

"As long as I am still here, the more people there are on the hills below and the stronger they are, the better the Luotian Sect will be."

"And if I'm gone..."

This situation needs to be analyzed in detail. Is it the absence of sudden death or the absence of great and glorious ascension? The two situations have completely different influences on the sect.

Luo Chen didn't want to think about it anymore and coughed lightly.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

"I'll tell you three things!"

"First, if you have any requests in the future, you don't have to ask for anything internally, you can ask for anything externally. I will refine a special magic weapon in batches for you to travel through the Netherworld Abyss."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

The abyss of the underworld makes people shudder, but that is because of the omnipresent abyss.

If Luo Chen could refine a magical weapon that allowed people to travel through the abyss, then the Netherworld Abyss would not be a place that people were afraid of, but a place that people would salivate over.

After all, this abyss is the site of a generation of sacred sacred land buried!

It is still unknown how many treasures and opportunities are contained in it.

But everyone knows that the sooner it is discovered, the more benefits will be gained.

Luo Chen was very satisfied with the reactions of the crowd, and he didn't care how much energy it would take him to refine the batch of magical weapons he had just mentioned.

After refining the Mingshui spring, I felt very confident about this.

Controlling the Mingshui Spring is equivalent to controlling the abyss of the underworld, and this is no joke.

Even though Luo Chen has not yet reached the level of directly controlling the Netherworld Abyss, it is still a very simple matter for him to allow his disciples to roam in the abyss without any pressure.

After everyone digested the first thing, Luo Chen continued to speak.

This time, he set his sights on Fairy Canglong.

"I am planning to officially become a Taoist couple with Junior Sister Canglong. I want to hold a celebration to announce it to the public and have fun with all the disciples."

Obviously everyone had guessed this.

But before they could open their mouths to congratulate, a beautiful figure suddenly stood up.

Luo Chen looked over calmly, "Cai Yi, do you have anything to say?"

Under his gaze, Gu Caiyi's face turned pale, but the words she spoke were quite stable.

"Congratulations, husband, on finding another confidante. Caiyi stood up just to volunteer to take charge of this matter as your wife. I hope your permission will be granted."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile.

"Very good, you are so considerate, you are worthy of being my woman. Then this matter..."

"Brother, let's forget about the celebration, in my opinion!"

Luo Chen frowned slightly and his eyes fell on the woman who spoke.

Canglong, who had been quiet the whole time, smiled and said, "Although the Luotian Sect has been peaceful for a long time now, there is no need to be so extravagant. Anyway, there are no outsiders involved, and everyone will know about it over time."

Gu Caiyi was puzzled. "My husband gave Sima Huiniang and me a Taoist couple ceremony back then. Don't you want to become your husband's Taoist couple openly?"

When faced with this issue, the people who were most excited were the ones standing behind Canglong.

The heartless fairy and Shi Lan from the Ice Castle.

Fairy Canglong smiled and shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Caiyi. Canglong doesn't like publicity, so let's just leave it at that!"

Gu Caiyi was still confused.

Luo Chen came to his senses a little.

It’s not that Canglong doesn’t want this status, but she is completely different from Gu Caiyi and Sima Huiniang.

Those two were Luo Chen's "wives through thick and thin" who had been through thick and thin together. No matter how great the grace was, they could bear it.

In the eyes of the people below, that was what they deserved.

However, Fairy Canglong did not provide much help to the development of Luotian Sect. As soon as she woke up, she achieved the Nascent Soul stage and became the Taoist companion of the Supreme Elder.

This is more like picking peaches.

Under such circumstances, holding a celebration would be more likely to cause unpleasant impressions among the people below.

"In that case, then let's follow Junior Sister's instructions!"

Luo Chen said this lightly, and then opened his mouth to talk about the third thing.

"I am leaving Luotian Sect. I don't know when I will return!"

The crowd, who had previously shown no interest in Luo Chen's family affairs, suddenly became confused and there was an uproar in the hall. (End of this chapter)
